We did a Megaman costume for a friend because he really likes Megaman.

I'm not sure if I should feel creeped out by this, or mildly amused.

I have to say, I just joined instructables so I could view all of your pictures. I plan on making some of these for my family for halloween 2011 and I will be using your instructable as a guide for sure! We're doing mega man(my 5yo), mega man X(me) and either Alia or cinammon from the X series(my wife).

Thanks so much these were a ton of fun! Please let me know if you improve on the design. And I would love to see the end results.

all I gotta say is that the kid is adorable and the costume is awesome. I'm going to try to make somthing akin to this sometime soon. when I do, I'll see about useing some of your designs for the Buster and the leg armor for the boots.

I thank you for sharing this bit on how to replicate the Megaman feel for a home-made costume. I am wanting to make one of these for myself for this season and I agree with most of the steps outlined here, but I would consider making my variant a more macho-looking Megaman, possibly more like the Megaman in the Anime series than the game version of him. In essence, I would switch the briefs with a pair of boxers for the component, and possibly use some padding underneath the clothes that  I would use for the outfit to make the torso a bit more muscular, being canon to the Megaman of the Animated series of the 90s.  Aside from that, I would obviously rotate the square on Megaman's helmet 45 degrees to complete the appearance. It's true: we CAN  scale up the appearance for other ages, BUT  it should also be known that some OTHER  modifications might need to be made on HOW  to put it together.

Not to be to troublesome or lazy but, ummmmm.......... Would it be possible for you to make a mega man costume for a 15 year old......... I've been a mega man fan since I was eight. I have all the mega man games and even the tv series. I wanted to know that if I gave you my sizes and stuff and paid for the materials and tools needed, along with the working charges, if you could make me one. Thx

You should try it yourself! it's a great learning experience! Trust me, it's a lot cooler to say, when someone asks where it's from, "I made it myself!"

[Icee202]

If you can, email me at [e-mail]

[yoshi425]

I am so making one of these for me!

[King Joe]

[greenphreak]
